Remembering the Future, Predicting the Past
An important function of memory is to provide information for predicting the future outcomes of our actions. At a basic cellular level, neural circuits are capable of extracting causal links and generating activity that is predictive of future events. How do low-level cellular processes work together to store, retain and recall memories, allowing us to remember and predict? These questions are the focus of intense experimental and theoretical research. I will review recent results and discuss a number of ideas illustrated by computer simulations of memory function and prediction.
